APPLICATIONS OF NMIS

FISCAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTAdvantages:- • The information generated can be used to

monitor past performance or to predict future performance.

• Accumulated data can be analyzed for the development of trends that can be used to project future expenditures.

• Necessary reallocations and budgetary adjustments can then be made on the basis of these projections.

16

Cont: WORKLOAD MEASUREMENT AND

STAFFING REQUIREMENTSAdvantages:- • It helps to store, manipulate and retrieve

large volumes of data. • The information generated assists nursing

managers in planning, monitoring and evaluating use of nursing resources on a daily basis and in the longer time frame.

• It is used to generate staff schedules with conjunction with personnel management.

17

Cont: PERSONNEL MANAGEMENTAdvantages:- • An employee with a special mix of skills

can be located.• Records are readily accessible needed for

accreditation purposes or to monitor contract compliance.
